Thirdwave Edit Meaning

1.

America's 3rd popular feminist movement.

(The first wave consisted of the suffragettes of the 20's who in 1927 earned us the right to vote.

The second was during the 70's and 80's and involved battling for the passage of the equal rights amendment with additional focuses on childcare and sexual assault; Ms. magazine was also a product of the 2nd wave.

The 3rd wave is coming and now closely associated with the queer movement. genderfuckers and women lovers everywhere unite!)

Being in high school during Bush's residency and the re-examination of the Roe v. Wade decision as well as the emergence of radical women's groups such as code pinkand the media explosion of queer pop culture, I consider myself to be a thirdwave teen.
